Avg GDP growth 1945-79: 2.8% Since then: 1.6% And this apparently "broken, economically stagnant" basket case kept its AAA status right through the Winter of Discontent We lost it under Cameron, and it fell again under May, then Johnson, and then Truss: i.e. the whole time Clarke was in govt

tweet by nigel farage, 1658, 27.09.2026:
"i have been warning both in and out of parliament for many months about iranian agents coming into the uk vis small boats across the channel.

"we deserve to be told the truth about the fairford bomb plotters' identities"snip from the Guardian just now:

"Five men arrested over suspected bomb plot are all British nationals, police say
The five men arrested over the suspected bomb plot at RAF Fairford are all British nationals from London and are all men in their 20s, Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) has said.

In a statement, the CTP said they were detained on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act and preparation of a terrorist act contrary to Section 5 of the Terrorism Act. They are a 24-year-old from Camden, north London; three men aged 23, 24 and 25 from Westminster, and one aged 24 from Willesden, north-west London."

Fair play to the wife of a Caribbean man and mother of mixed race children being informed by the BBC reporter that she’s in the minority in her community regarding immigration and responding with, “Yes, I’m surrounded by bigots.”

Farage should attend a park run, a game of football, a Primary School in Clacton, a Prom concert before he goes all "Broken Britain" The country is NOT broken. It's millions of people, born without Farage's privilege, trying cheerfully trying their best for their families and communities.

Whatever happens in Clacton tomorrow Farage is going to end up looking absolutely ridiculous He wanted to prove himself to be the hero of the hour, taking on and taking down the mythical "establishment". Instead he's going to look like an absolute clown - surrounded by clowns at a clown convention

Fact for those arguing with grandad/ma. "Our research illustrates this vividly. When we recreated the atmospheric conditions of the 1976 UK heatwave under today’s climate, peak temperatures were around 3-4°C higher. The weather pattern was the same; the climate in which it occurred had changed."
theconversation.com
‘Was this heatwave caused by climate change?’ – we’re asking the wrong question
Instead of asking whether climate change caused a heatwave, we should ask how much hotter it became because of fossil fuel emissions.
